Activity

Pack the Paper

Flashcard Flashmob

Mastervocab Theater

DaVinci’s DaDrawings

1.Pack the Paper

DIRECTIONS: Write the words and definitions of the
words on a sheet of paper. Your goal: Fit the most word/definition and
stem/definition combos as you can on a single sheet of paper. Hand in to Mrs. Ripp to show you are ready to
do the re-take.

Tip: Start with the words/stems you don’t know that well.

2.Flashcard Flashmob

DIRECTIONS:
Work with a partner to study your flashcards. First, you should ask them all of
the definitions. Then switch. When you’re finished, find a new partner and
repeat. Show Mrs. Ripp your flashcards to show you are ready to do the re-take.

Tip: If you
find yourself getting stuck on a word/stem, ask your partner to ask you that
word/stem more often than the others. For example, if you’re stuck on “inter”,
they’d ask 1) inter 2) com 3) stell 4) inter 5) condescend 6) inter

3.Mastervocab Theater

DIRECTIONS:
In groups of 2-3, plan a way to act out the words and stems. Be sure to include
everyone in the group. This will be
acted out in class to show you are ready to do the re-take.

Tip: If
you’re stuck on how to act out a word, check the blue vocab packets in the back
for some sentence tips!

4.DaVinci’s Drawings

DIRECTIONS:
Draw pictures that illustrate the definitions of the words and stems. Use
scratch paper, and try to draw pictures in sizes that can conserve paper. Hand in to Mrs. Ripp to show you are ready to
do the re-take.
